Tops is owned by Emro Holdings Inc. and has an entrance fee of P100.00 for all visitors which you’re going to pay before entering the place. Locals and Foreigners have the same rate and there is no special rate for children. Once inside, you’re going to be dismayed because it’s not the biggest bang for your buck.

At Tops, watching the City Lights

It is about 30-40 minutes from the center of Cebu. You will already see the City even if you’re not inside Tops. When inside, you can see the wonderful view and the spectacular city lights of Cebu and Mactan. Bohol is not too visible during nighttime but you can still see some lights. Tops is about 2000 above sea level and it has about 1 hectare in area. The main ground is decorated by concretes in hexagon form and withered Bermuda grasses. The covered resting and eating area is wonderfully made by big concrete stones and designed in curves and circles. The tables and sitting area which can be used by anyone are made of concrete too. There used to be several stores that are opened in the place but lately, there are only 2 left. One is a souvenir shop which sells keychains, cellphone charms, magnetic decors, bracelets, necklace and hats. The other store is selling snacks such as junk foods, sodas, beers, juices and noodles. I suggest you bring your own food as the price is doubled.

Parking Area

Tops has a spacious parking area for cars and motorcycles. One notable thing in Tops is the big old bell which a lot of people enjoyed banging. There are about a dozen seats near the viewing area which a lot of couples and families used for spending the night watching the bright lights of the city. During sunset a lot of foreigners and photographers visit the place just to relax, enjoy, take a panoramic view of the city and breathe the fresh air which you can’t experience in the polluted areas of the city.

If you haven’t been to the place, set aside a small amount of money just to see the wonderful view of the city of Cebu only at Tops.

hey..I and my friends are plannig to go to cebu tops this saturday…is there another way of getting there appart from taxi…we live near southwestern university and we are international students so we really dont know this place very well….thanks in advance

hi.. we will be going to Cebu on April 21 and we are very interested in going to TOPS. we are 5 people.. is there any other way to have a cheaper ride going there? what are our options? hope to hear some advice from you guyz.. tnx! God Bless…

Nice place but unfortunately it destroy my family, but i’m happy and blessed that i the court give me the custody of my children. Caught my wife and her Beau at parking area, guards should be strict in the future please have them roam around parking area especially outside some lunatics will do they deeds there.

So many are interested in TOPS Cebu and I think the place is a tourist destination. But one sad thing to note is that the service facilities for going & staying there are not modernized & updated, that is, there are no hotels, lodging houses or pensione, good transport services & food parks catering to variety of ordinary & fancy food items to respond to the need of gourmands who may visist the place & partake in food trips. I think the management of TOPS needs to look into these if it indeed wants to contribute to soaring Cebu as a favored tourist destination. Congrats for Cebu & the TOPS management!

Hi,
My friend and i are planning to visit TOPS,cebu.Am just wondering regarding the taxi rates from Fuente Osmena to TOPS.And is there any possible hotels to stay within that
place? Taxi rate back and forth specifically.

Hi! im in cebu right now, i have no idea how much will it cost me if i take a cab from robinsons cebu to tops, any help? and would it be safe if i go there alone at night, wanted to take some photos of the night lights. thank you very much

Please check my reply to Rochelle in my Doce Pares Zipline article. Tops and Zipline are near each other. The only difference is the flagdown for ordinary (white) taxi’s is already P40 and the succeeding 1/4 km is P3.50. Habal-habal going to Tops costs more compared to going to the Zipline because of the steep slopes.

Hi there. Very useful information you get here! I was just wondering how much it would be to go to Tops coming from Pier 4 in Cebu City? Most likely by taxi? I really want to try the zipline there with my partner.

Or would it be better if we try the zip line in Crown Regency instead? Thanks!

Taxis that bring you to Tops or the nearby Doce Pares Zipline would normally require a fixed rate of about P500-P800 for one way (which should not be the case as they are breaking the transportation law).

For metered taxis from Pier 4 to Tops, the fare will only be about P300.

Just think of this: Cebu is not like Manila where most taxis are fixed rate and after reporting them to LTO it requires much time for them to take action. Most taxis in Cebu needs passengers, not the other way around.

Please note my suggestion to get a metered taxi: All sea ports in Cebu have “taxi queues” or “taxi stand” (we call it locally as “nag-tama nga taxi”). There are security guards in those areas that give you a small sheet of paper with the taxi number in it. If the taxi driver insists on asking a fixed rate or does not bring you to your destination, tell him you will sue him or report him to LTO (the phone numbers are on the small paper).
